In June 2006 the Parish Council leased a piece of land next to the Church for Community use.  Various options were discussed for the use of this land and after consultations with the people of Herringswell, the result was that the majority of people wanted it to be a wildlife area for everyone to enjoy.

In November 2006 work started on clearing the area, see photos below of some Herringswell Parishioners hard at work!


Suffolk Wildlife Trust and Forest Heath Countryside Officers have been giving us some great advice on how best to create our vision and together wehave created a plan which you can view here.  We would like your views, you can email us, phone either Liz on 750374 or Gloria on 750610 or please come to the next Parish Council Meeting when we shall be next discussing the plans.
